#SAMPLITUDE PRO X3 STUDENT VERSION PRO#

Again for workflow and I love the ease of use of the Pro Channel.Samplitude Pro X2 is a powerful DAW, with lots of horsepower under the hood and great plugins to match. But I always come back to Cakewalk at some point for other work. Currently I use Reaper at home for all my projects, its stability is a huge factor but that's another thread. Personally I have used or owned Pro Tools, Samplitude, Studio One, Ableton, Tracktion, Reason (used to teach it) and even an LE version of Cubase. I think they would have been better off learning Cakewalk, but they wanted to stick with what they knew.

I told their people about Cakewalk and it being free yet they chose to switch to Reaper and hired me to create a workspace and theme to make it mimic Audition in single track mode.

#SAMPLITUDE PRO X3 STUDENT VERSION LICENSE#

I deal with another broadcast company that will be ending their relationship with Adobe due to the license fees for Audition. We're not exactly doing the type of work that would even warrant Pro Tools.simply put, it's overkill for what we need. I was surprised how many producers chose Pro Tools, especially given that Cakewalk is far more expedient when doing projects that need to be competed quickly. Cakewalk (then Sonar) was barely mentioned.

#SAMPLITUDE PRO X3 STUDENT VERSION SOFTWARE#

Corporate did a survey of the producers in each market for everyone's software of choice. I have gotten very good with Reaper and been able to get its workflow (for my needs) close to that of Cakewalk, but never a perfect match to where there a few things that require an extra click or workaround.Īs to the whether or not Cakewalk is gaining ground, it reminded me of when our company merged with a larger broadcast company. For what we do, nothing can beat its workflow. That being said we still and will always use either SONAR or Cakewalk at work. I guess I would now qualify as a Reaper fanatic since the Great Panic of November of 2017. We are at a time where it's good to have all these tools at our disposal. One big change that has happened in recent years is that a lot of the instructors now let the students use their DAW of choice for projects and work outside of class, In fact one teacher there openly encourages it. It surprised me how most of them even as 18 & 19 year olds did not like using the program. Part of the curriculum requires that they take classes in sound design. But that was tempered by the fact that a lot of them use MACs.

A lot of the students were initially enthused when I told them Cakewalk was now a free DAW. Did a class at a local college in broadcasting and radio production using Cakewalk, Adobe Audition, and Reaper. With CbB being free, I'd bet that a lot of the attendees went home and downloaded it so they could use some of the CbB-exclusive features I mentioned. I gave a seminar about mixing at a university last week, and showed the tempo track extraction feature in CbB and some of the mixing features, as well as the Harmonic Editing in Studio One and the Reason instruments. I also tried Samplitude, Studio One, and even a light version of Cubase, but didn't care for their workflow.

I guess my only real gripe is that when using it for really big projects, it gets very clunky on my machine. Of course it means I become their tech support at times since I know the program so well :). I still think SONAR/Bandlab is a fine DAW and often tell people about it who want to get started or don't have a lot of $$. It's not perfect, but it gets me up and running. There was a user here named Azlow who developed a plugin that allows me to open SONAR and Bandlab projects in Reaper so I've made use of that a lot in recent months. I have, since the great panic of November 2017, switched to Reaper almost 100% and don't envision going back to SONAR as my main DAW at this point. Basically I have no choice but to use SONAR or Bandlab to do this at least to start. There have been several times over the last 2 years where I had to revisit some of them for either remixes or reworking. I have almost 20 years of projects going back to Pro Audio 9.
